FEP-7628: Move actor - Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

Migration of followers from one ActivityPub actor to another.

FEP-8c13: Context-Authority Routing with Object Integrity Proofs for Restricted Threads - Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

In ActivityPub today, a reply to a "followers-only" post is delivered only to the replier's followers. Everyone else in the conversation - including people who follow the original author - never sees it, so the thread fragments into inconsistent partial views. This proposal fixes that by giving every restricted thread a single coordinating server: the Context Authority, which is the server that hosts the thread's root post. All replies, reactions, edits, and deletes for the thread are sent to that one server, which validates them and fans them out to everyone currently allowed to see the thread. Because all traffic flows through one authority, every participant converges on the same view.

FEP-f228: Backfilling conversations - Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

The most common conversation backfill method is based on recursive retrieval of posts indicated by inReplyTo property and posts contained in replies collections. This is inefficient and stops working if any node in the reply tree becomes inaccessible. FEP-7888 Demystifying the context property suggests using the context property for grouping related objects (such as posts in a conversation). This property can resolve to a collection, which can be used for efficient backfilling without recursion. Two different implementations of context collection exist collection of posts and collection of activities.
